AUGUST KANZLER, or PRINCETON, KENTUCKY.

NECK-YOKE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 262,432, dated August 8, 1882.

Application filed March 20, 1882. (N0 model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, AUeUsr KANZLER, of Princeton, Caldwell county, State of Kentucky, have invented a new and Improved Neck- Yoke; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the san1e,reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specifieation, in which- Figure l is a perspective view of my invention. Fig. 2 is a section of the pole-tip and tug in liney y ofFig. 1. Fig.3is a transverse section in line :0 0a of Fig. 1.

My invention relates to improvements in neck-yokes for vehicles; and it consists in the peculiar construction and arrangement of the parts, as hereinafter more fully set forth.

In the accompanying drawings,a represents the pole of the vehicle.

1) represents the pole-tip, having a ferrule, c, which receives the mortised outer end of the pole, and is secured thereto by a screw or rivet.

61 represents the bolt portion of the pole-tip, which may be made flat on one side, as shown at e, or square, or octagonal, or oval, or polygonal, so as to fit a tug, h, similarly formed, and positively prevent the tug from turning on the pole-tip v.

To the upper end of the tug h is secured an eye, k, through which passes a staple, Z, the plane of the staple being at right angles to the eye It, the shanks m m of. the staples being threaded and passing through holes in the middle of the neck-yoke 0, and provided at their ends with nuts 1) and washers q, or otherwise secured.

1' represents a rubber band or block passing around the staple between the neck-yoke 0 and the eye is of the tug h, to prevent rattling.

By this construction, it will be seen that it is impossible for the tug to turn on the poletip, which prevents all rocking of the pole, and imparts a steady movement to the carriage, thus preventing the wear of the tip, and therefore can be manufactured of less weight.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. The combination of the pole-tip 1), provided with a flat or square side, with the tug h, similarly formed, and provided with the eye It, staple l, and neck-yoke 0, substantially as described, and for the purpose set forth.

The combination of the pole at, pole-tip b, having ferrule c and bolt portion d, provided with a flat side, tug h, similarly formed and provided with an eye, 7c,staple l, having screwthreaded shanks, neck-yoke 0,- and rubber block 8, substantially as described, and for the purpose set forth.
